Calculation design compression resistance NRd for column web

The design compression resistance NRd is given by  the minimum of the crushing resistance Ry,Rd, the crippling resistance Ra,Rd and the buckling resistance Rb,Rd of the column web (see Ref.[2], 5.7.3., 5.7.4., 5.7.5)

Rb,Rd is obtained by considering the web as a virtual compression member with an effective breadth beff and buckling length d.
